The Chicken Slacks 3-Year Anniversary CIRCUS

For 156 Thursdays in a row, The Chicken Slacks have been pouring the best classic soul and funk onto a sweaty and eager Cantab Lounge crowd, creating a weekly juke joint dance party that has aptly become known as “Your Gateway to the Weekend.” This Thursday the Chicken Slacks host their annual Anniversary Circus to commemorate yet another year of “Every Damn Thursday.”

Besides the usual get-down music from the ‘Slacks, past Anniversary shows have included jugglers, caricature artists, belly dancers, balloon twisters, giveaways and raffles.

The cover charge stays the same as every Thursday (only $5) and, as usual, the Thursday-night regulars will sneak in for free.

This Thursday, tomorrow night, at The Cantab Lounge, Central Square, Cambridge
